Just received my Worksharp 3000 that was on sale for $61 a month or so ago. As I stated before I live in Canada and could not use my M/C as they don't (didn't) accept Canadian CC's. But someone called me to say if I bought an HD gift card (yes, from A Canadian HD) they would accept that. So off I went to buy one only to find out they didn't take those either because-you guessed it- it was Canadian. And to really fry my bacon, I could'nt return the gift card for a refund. So I emailed the CEO of HD and the NEXT MORNING I had a return email from their corporate resolution Specialist. Then a few minutes later I had a phone call from her saying she would follow up on all aspects of this fiasco and wanted to give me something for my frustration so they gave me the Worksharp for nothing.
This is the second time in 3 years that I have encountered a situation that defied common sense and both times I have been given a "gift" to sooth the frustration caused by someone not using common sense. And I understand that with 10's of thousands of employees that must be a difficult task but I do give them "A" for effort.As others have stated re: the $62 Worsksharp Special HD seems to be "trying harder" and for that I give them Kudos.
And I do like the Worksharp.
